Deploying Visual Studio Tools for Office via SCCM 2012

Question

hey guys,

 

I have been searching my #ss off on how to deploy VSTOR_x86 via sccm 2012.

 

We are deploying an Office add-in that requires both VSTOR and the PIA to be installed.

PIA is easy as you can get an msi from MS's website but I can't seem to find on how to get VSTOR deployed.

 

It's VSTOR_x86 I want to deploy to Windows 7 x86 machines...

OK, found some information but still not everything I need...

 

You can run vstor_x86.exe /q for a silent install but still it's not deploying...

So, I tried something and that something was to run vstor_x86 /? and that popped up a box with these switches :

 

/l <logfile.txt> : creates a logfile

/lang <xxxx> : '-digit languagecode --> can't seem to find which codes are supported anywhere :-s

/q : silent install

/qu : silent uninstall

/? : this pop up

 

If I create a package with a program vstor_x86.exe /q and deploy it, it just gets stuck during "Program started" in SCCM 2012 but it won't finish...

I'm having the opposite problem, I am able to install Visual Studio Tools without any issue but I'm having a hard time getting PIA 2010 installed silently.

 

I used vstor40_x64 /q and it installed just fine.

 

What command line are you using for PIA?

Same procedure as for VSTOR. Just extract the exe file and use the msi with "msiexec /i o2010pia.msi /norestart /q". Has also the benfit that you can use the application model and buld some nice dependencies with it.

well, PIA is available as an MSI so I just created an application in SCCM 2012 and didn't have to set any command line as the msi command is generated by sccm itself.

 

If you want, I'll still check on monday what msiexec command it actually uses...

 

Pete : if you extract the the exe-file, do you still have to copy ALL those files to your DP or just the msi?
